Wilson’s Contract Negotiations with Fulham Stall Amid Premier League Interest

Ongoing Talks on Hold

Discussions regarding a new contract for Harry Wilson with Fulham have been temporarily suspended, influenced by increasing interest from other clubs in the Premier League for the Welsh forward. Wilson’s current deal is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, and despite Fulham prioritizing an extension, an agreement has yet to be reached.

Awaiting Clarity on Coaching Situation

Sources indicate that Wilson is seeking a clearer picture regarding the future of head coach Marco Silva, who is also without a contract beyond this season, before considering any contract extension.

Silva’s Stance on Possible Transfers

In spite of the potential loss of Wilson without compensation at the end of the season, Silva has publicly stated that there is “zero chance” Wilson will be sold during the current transfer window.

Wilson’s Impressive Form

Harry Wilson has emerged as a key performer in the Premier League, tallying six goals over his last 12 matches across all competitions. This brings his seasonal total for both Fulham and the Welsh national team to 12, complemented by five assists.

Interest from Other Teams

Numerous top-tier clubs have shown interest in signing Wilson ahead of the forthcoming transfer deadline. Clubs such as Aston Villa, Brentford, Everton, and Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring his situation as the 2 February deadline approaches. It is expected that both English and European teams will pursue him in the summer if he departs as a free agent.

Fulham’s Pursuits in the Transfer Market

In addition, Fulham is in discussions with Manchester City regarding a potential £35 million deal for Oscar Bobb, who also plays as a right-sided attacker. The outcome of this deal could influence Fulham’s approach regarding Wilson later in the transfer window.

Wilson’s Journey with Fulham

Harry Wilson joined Fulham from Liverpool back in 2021, initially on loan before the transfer was finalized at a cost of £12 million. Since arriving, he has made a significant impact with 171 appearances and 33 goals to his name.
